Lombok Regency Government: Jokowi Statue Will Become Tourist Photo Spot Icon

PRAYA - The Central Lombok Regency Government stated that a statue of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) using a custom motorbike had been installed at the entrance of the Mandalika Circuit, Central Lombok, NTB, and could become an iconic photo point for tourists and spectators of the Mandalika MotoGP.

"Alhamdulillah, we have witnessed the installation of a replica of the statue of President Jokowi, this can become an iconic photo spot for tourists", said Central Lombok Regent H Lalu Pathul Bahri in Praya, as reported by Antara, Sunday, March 13.

He hopes that the hopes of President Jokowi, the NTB Provincial Government that Central Lombok Regency as a satellite of regional progress will become a reality and the Mandalika Circuit is the entry point for development progress in all sectors in the Earth of Tastura.

For this reason, he asked the public not to question the installation of a replica of the Statue of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, because it had been previously communicated with the central, provincial, and district governments. For the regent, he did not question it because the installation of statues as symbols of leaders and figures is already everywhere in various regions in Indonesia.

"In our area alone, there are a lot of statues symbolizing our leaders, including the Mandalika Statue which is a unifying symbol and a symbol of sacrifice for the benefit of the people. So it doesn't matter to me", he said.

The Regent considered the President Jokowi statue to be a work of art actualized in three-dimensional sculpture. The sculpture is interpreted as a work of art that has artistic value or beauty.

However, the regent did not deny that President Jokowi's high attention and concern for Central Lombok Regency was one of the reasons why the replica of the President Jokowi Statue was appreciated and allowed to be installed near the Circuit without denying the services of his predecessors.

"So please don't question it anymore", said the regent, asking.

The replica of the Statue of President Jokowi is also expected to later become one of the tourist facilities that can be enjoyed by local people as well as domestic and foreign tourists.

"Just look at everyone who passes in front of the Mandalika circuit always taking pictures or selfies, including in front of the statue, just finished installing it, people who pass by a stop for a moment to take selfies, this is a community tourism facility", he said.
